Used rig pricing and age question (<-- n00b)
theonlyski replied to sunkenstate's topic in Gear and Rigging
Find out if the Cypres has had its 4 year (should've back in 09), also, how many jumps on the main line set? "I may be a dirty pirate hooker...but I'm not about to go stand on the corner." iluvtofly DPH -7, TDS 578, Muff 5153, SCR 14890 I'm an asshole, and I approve this message -

Well, he let me stick my face in his girl's rack as he took pictures. Never did say he was bright. "I may be a dirty pirate hooker...but I'm not about to go stand on the corner." iluvtofly DPH -7, TDS 578, Muff 5153, SCR 14890 I'm an asshole, and I approve this message

The problems I had were: The demo canopy had the larger slider, opened great. My brand new one didn't. The canopy wasn't inflating properly. Was inconsistent, sometimes would open ok at best, others it was a ride. New slider fixed it, softer openings, more consistent and more like the DEMO that I tried. You said: Mine wasn't with the stock slider.

Not gonna toss them, was gonna sew them together at the top so you don't gotta worry about losing one. Side note: Initial look at the canopy isn't showing any damage, I'll check it better tomorrow, but so far it's ok to get hooked up again.

+1 on MEL asking about the slider. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VoZjdSednDU The second slider I tried (the first one opened worse) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d9c5Ra0mcwo Third (final) slider.

Estimated AFF-I rating cost at Skydive Ratings?
theonlyski replied to trinitycsi's topic in Instructors
http://www.skydiveratings.com/rates-3/ Depends on the class size and how many people quit the first couple days, plus jump tickets. Pre-course should be about 14 tickets if no repeats, eval jumps will be 5-7 tickets.

Bet it tastes great with Snack Ramen 3 times a day. Obviously they're getting paid too much. OP: I became a rigger because I wanted to pack MY reserve especially after seeing the master riggers I had been using hooked up one slink wrong and missed it on the next repack. It's worked out well for me, even on a weekend of not getting any video/AFF/coach jumps, there's usually a reserve or two that needs packin'. Only down side is to do it right, you should have sewing machines, enough of the proper tools to make the job easy (packing a back bailout rig without t-bodkins was a pain in the ass, SO much easier with them). Becoming a rigger actually cost me ~$500, I didn't have to pay for the riggers that I was working with time, use of their materials or machines, just the written and O/P. If you look hard enough, I'm sure you'll find a rigger to study under for next to nothing and get some experience with the 'field'. Of course, now I have a couple machines, a full kit that includes grommet setters and all, it's not a cheap initial investment but believe it or not, many riggers out there have tools they've long stopped using and may even be willing to throw them your way for next to if not nothing.

Vigil gives 10% discount to US Military
theonlyski replied to shattenjager's topic in General Skydiving Discussions
I'm sure they probably didn't want that info posted on a public thread. Most mfgrs that I talked to about military discount asked me to keep it quiet and off the internet, but I could share with military friends.

Isn't that the purpose of the velcro on the RSL/flap, so the pin rotates and allows the ripcord to come all the way out? "I may be a dirty pirate hooker...but I'm not about to go stand on the corner." iluvtofly DPH -7, TDS 578, Muff 5153, SCR 14890 I'm an asshole, and I approve this message

You can always take the pics to walgreens/CVS and have them digitize them. Even better if you still have the negatives. Then copy them to the photo frame/SD card and viola!

I believe they were talking about supertacking the tabs inside the riser so they don't rotate out. "I may be a dirty pirate hooker...but I'm not about to go stand on the corner." iluvtofly DPH -7, TDS 578, Muff 5153, SCR 14890 I'm an asshole, and I approve this message
